Britain's Got Talent has found another star. Audience members and judges including Piers Morgan and American Idol's Simon Cowell held back their sneers as Boyle, a 47-year-old Scottish virgin named Susan Boyle took the stage. However, as soon as she delivered the first note of Les Miserables tune, "I Dreamed a Dream," their mockery turned to looks of awe. Check out the video of Boyle's performance.

Boyle apparently dreamed of becoming a professional singer but in order to care for her elderly mother, limited her efforts to the church choir and karaoke. After the death of her mother two years ago, Boyle has lived alone in the family home, with only her cat Pebbles. Since her performance, Boyle's performance has seen millions of hits on YouTube and has made headlines in the States.
